External differences between GP40 and GP22ECO

Kicking around modeling one or both of the Tacoma Rail GP22ECOs and was wondering if folks knew of any obvious external differences between them and a regular GP40, as I can't really seem to spot anything substantial.

Rooftop fans are taller, radiator grilles are larger.

I'd say the Air intake of a GP35 + the Engine compartment and Radiator of a GP40 would be close..

Or you could just model the GP40Ms


It turns out you can get black confetti in the shape of d'cks...

That paint scheme looks like a real PITA to mask and complete.

Heck.. maybe just use a Non dynamic GP40 shell, and build a little box around the exhaust stack..

The Engineer air intake did look a little odd though...
